Lyrics
(Trad. arr lonnie donegan & van morrison)
Well, I wake up in the mornin' (haa) When the ding-dong ring (hee) Walk over to the table Ya see the same old thing
Nothin' put upon the table Nothin' in my pan, well Says anything about it I get (I'm) in trouble with the man
Let the midnight special Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
If ya ever go to houston Ya better walk right You better not stagger And you better not fight
Or the sheriff gon' arrest you Lord, an' carry you down Then if the jury find you guilty You're penitentiary bound
Well, let the midnight special Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
Well, let the midnight special Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine an ever-lovin' light on me
Brother nicky!
(Instrumental and string solo)
A-yonder come miss rosey (oh yeah) How in the world do ya know? (how d'ya know?) Well, I know her by her apron (oh yeah) And the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder (woo) Piece a paper in her hand-a She's a-gonna tell the captain To release her man
Let the midnight special Shine a light on me Let the midnight special Shine an ever-lovin' light on me (Me, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let the midnight special (ooo) Shine a light on me (lord, lord, lord, lord) Let the midnight special
Shine it's ever-lovin' light on a-me
Ay!
